Sunnyvale officers arrest suspected burglar

Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officers arrested an 18-year-old Oakland man on May 6 on two counts of residential burglary after a neighbor reported suspicious activity.

At 11:59 a.m., police received a call from a resident reporting a suspicious person knocking on the door of a neighboring residence on the 900 block of Lois Avenue before going into the back yard. The neighbor knew the homeowner and did not recognize the person.

The caller provided a description of the teen, and officers set up a perimeter in the area. An officer saw a person matching the description and arrested him.

During the investigation, officers found Tariq Roddy-Figero, also known as Tariq Roddy-Figueroa, made unauthorized entry into the home. Officers also found property from a second residential burglary that occurred in Sunnyvale.

Roddy-Figero was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Jail.

Sunnyvale DPS is asking for anyone who has information related to these burglaries or Roddy-Figero to contact Detective Nick Epidendio at 408.730.7650.
